FORBES HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS (IN POTS) 
The Perennial Plants we offer are of unusually large size, in 5, 6 and 7-inch pots, with ample soil for 
strong root development. They are plants produced to succeed in your garden rather than for a con- 
veniently small size for shipping. When you see them in the sales beds at our Garden Center on Route 
10, Hanover, N. J., you will instantly recognize their superior quality. 
We lift the plants, in pots, and place them in your car. Within the hour you can remove the pots 
and set the plants out in your garden to continue their growth unchecked. Our large plants provide 
earlier, fuller bloom the first season, without loss. For equal cost our plants are far superior. 
Come and make your own selection and take them with you, or send in your order and we will 
_ deliver within our delivery area. We cannot ship plants by mail, express or freight. See page 5.
